Wallpaper - Dhaka Bangladesh Skyline Purple & Gold

In this architectural skyline wallpaper created by Michael Tompsett, the cityscape of Dhaka is rendered in an artistic watercolor-like silhouette. Deep purple, dark mulberry and warm golden ochre blend across the varied architectural landmarks, contrasting cleanly against a crisp white background. Splatters and fluid painterly blooms give the lower edge of the skyline movement and visual depth, balancing modern high-rises with classic domed architecture and bridge spans. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working especially well as a focal feature in a living room or home office. The horizontal flow of the skyline creates natural visual anchoring across a wider, uninterrupted wall, particularly behind a sofa or behind a work desk. Because the upper portion of the composition remains completely open, the wallpaper brings artistic presence into the room without overwhelming the space or competing with ceiling height. In rooms with generous natural daylight, the fluid contrasts between the deep purple splatters and warm golden tones become especially vivid.

Styling it

To balance the graphic energy of the skyline, we would surround this mural wallpaper with clean, contemporary furniture and warm finishes.

• Pair the warm ochre tones in the artwork with mid-tone warm woods such as teak or warm oak to ground the room.
• Introduce dark brass or muted bronze metallic hardware to subtly echo the golden and earthy undertones in the cityscape.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and large textiles in quiet, neutral shades like off-white, oat, or charcoal so the wall mural remains the focal point.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres on dark mulberry, rich purple, warm ochre, and soft gold against a pure white base. To complement these tones on adjacent walls or surrounding woodwork, warm off-white or soft alabaster maintains the brightness of the negative space. For a moodier, more tailored scheme, pulling out a deep plum, aubergine, or dark charcoal grey on nearby trims or adjacent walls creates an elegant, considered interior.
